Inora , * it s an c e Government might set a memorable and useful ex ample by not shedding one drop of blood. BORTHWICK begged to remind the Honourable Yomber for Bridport that persons taken in war were not state pi soners. Lord J. RUSSELL did not wish to claim credit for the CeNernment for carrying clemency to the extent to which .erne Honourable Members supposed it would go. He did 1,(4 say that Goiernment had interposed or would interpose tNith respect to any individual case, upon which judgment Mould be pronounced in the colony. He had merely stated a c neral opinion with regard to executions in those cases, but with tegard to any case that might occur, the opinion must depend upon the facts connected with that individual, and upon the Mate of the province at the time. Sir R. PEEL said that if anything could tend to diminish j influence of the Crown in the exercise of mercy, it was the House of Commons thus discussing the extent to which that mercy should go, without any knowledge of the nature or Marketer of the crimes committed. Did the Honourable and L arned Member for Liskeard mean to say that for no crime attending the insurrection in Canada should a single drop of Mood be shed T . Mr. C. BULLER said that his observations intended to apply to political offences only. The Bill was then read a first time, and was ordered to be read it second time on Monday next. THE PETITION OF MR. ROEBUCK. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from J. A. Roebuck, aying that he might be heard at the bar in defence of the ilouse of Assembly of Lower Canada, and in opposition to the measure of " impolicy and injustice" which Government meant to introduce with regard to that country. The pe tition also contained resolutions of the House of Assembly, appointing Mr. Roebuck agent. He was persuaded the }louse would see the reason and justice of granting the prayer of the petition. When the Act of 1791 was passed, establishing the Constitution of Canada, he found an entry on their Journals of the application of Mr. Adam Limburner, as agent from Quebec, to be heird by himself or Counsel against certain clauses of the Act. This application was agreed to, as - cell as that contained in the petitions of Mr. James Finn and - Metander. Ellis, merchants trading to Quebec, to the same effect. He trusted that the House would see that the precedent to which he bad referred was precisely in point, both as to the character in which the individual claimed to be hoard, and as to the subject to be discussed, which related to the identical province. that was greeted by the Bill which was to co intreduced by the present Government. He hoped, also, the House would recollect, that in the arguments cf the Noble Lord (J. Russell), the main stress of his allegations rested on the demonstration, that the House of Assembly had been defi eient in the qualities requisite for performing ha duty, and filled in its obligations both to the mother country and the colony. That was one of the two points which the Noble Lord undertook to establish in the course of his very long eeeech. In the few remarks which he had addressed to the }louse in answer to that speech, he stated his opinion that ti c House of Assembly had been hardly dealt with in regard to its defence, because there was no gentleman present who ether understood the full details of their conduct, or was eepable of meeting, without notice, any specific charges a hieh - emight - be urged against them. The general im portance of the affairs of the colony, in a matter bearing re) hardly and closely en a.large body of persons in these Provinces, would, he- trusted, mile the House sensible that there was the strongest necessity for giving the fullest op pertunity of hearing the case of the Assembly of Lower t'anada as fully and fairly stated on the one side as it had seen amply detailed on the other.—( Hear, hear.) He (lid think that when there was a gentleman in this country rmed with authority, as agent, by the house of Assembly, end fully competent from his knowledge of all the details and rcurnetances to answer the charges which lad been urged, ti.e House would not be - acting in a spirit of fair and equitable irsticee if 'they were to refuse to hear him at the bar; parti cularly when to hear the petitioner at the bar was as much in eensoniance with the old estehlished custom of the !louse as sei t h a Tigard is the strict dictates of justice.— ( Hear, hear. ) lie subinitted that if the House were to decline to hear their agent, it would have ae appearance of rigour and injustice to • yards theeflonse of Assembly, which it was not the wish of ally Gentleman at either side to evince.—( Hear, hear.) With the perrni , sion of the Speaker, he should bring up the peti teen, and then, if the House armed to its prayer, he should :neve that a day be named on ehich Mr. RoAtlek should be Leard. . The following; petition was then seed at length by the Clerk s-t-• • '- The Petition - of John Arthur Roebuck, Agent of the House of Assem. • 'bly of Lower Canada. " Shevieth—That your-petitioner- was appointed Agent to the House rf Asiesobly of Lower Canada on the 18th of February, 1835, as ap. rears by the following extract from the attested copy of the Resolutions. s.f the House of AssemlYy:— ." Reso:ved--That in the event of the Bill passel by this House yes... terday, appointing John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., Agent for this Province, sot becoming a law, the said John Arthur Roebuck, E,q., be requested, as Agent of this House, to represent to his Majesty's Government the : I.SsiterrstS and sentiments of the inhabitants of this Province, and to sup. port the'lletitions of this House to his Majesty and both Houses of Par. Varnent " On the lAth•November, 1835, the following Ileso'ution was passe& trf the Assembl'y, as by the attested copy in possession of your petitioner 'dully appears:- - ` Resolved—That this House has the greatest confidence in the ta lents and seal of the said John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., and in the recti. tude of his proceedings; and that this House request him to continue to the people of tills country, and their representatives, those services which have deservedly insured to him the warm gratitude of _the inha. I•itants of this Province.' " On May 30, 1835, your petitioner addressed the following letter to o Right'llen. the Lord Glenelg, Secretary for the Colonies:— My Lord--=lnclesed are copies of Resolutions forwarded to me by (le speaker of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, appointing me vs ear ,Agent in this country,. • " Asi I out intrusted to make certain communications to the Impe... rat Government on behalf of the House of Assembly, may I request', 3 - sir Lordship to appoint some day when I may see you in the eapacityi ct Agent to the House of Assembly. " I remain, my Lord, your obedient servant, "' The Right Hon. the Lord Gienelg, etc. " J. A. ROEUCK." "That in consequence'of this communication, your petitioner, actin as Agent, had an interview with the Secretary of State for the Colonies,. ard has since in the same capacity been received by and has been in fre. rn.ent communication with various members of her Majesty's Govern anent. " That your petitioner has heard that a Bill is now pending in you :Honourable House. by which it is proposed to suspend the powers o the House of Assembly of Lower Canada. " Your petitioner, therefore ' prays that he may, in accordance wi she established usage of your Honourable House in similar cases, exard at your Bar, In order to lay before your Honourable House suc reasons as he believes wilt prove the impolicy and injustice of allowi she aforesaid Bill to pass into a law. " And your petitioner will ever pray." Mr. W A KLE Y said that as it appeared to hiin that there svould not be the slightest objection to hear a detail of the grievances of which the Assembly complained, he thought they should now at once determine when Mr. Roebuck should be heard. The principle of the Bill would be decided on the second reading ; and it was therefore important that the agent of the Assembly should be heard on Monday, for which :bat stage was fixed. Mr. WA RBURTONhegged to remind the House that in the precedent which had been quoted the complaint was ic,ainst certain clauses of the Act, and counsel might therefore, ithout unfairness, be heard, as it was intended in that case the should be on bringing up the report. But here he ap prehended that. the opposition to be given wag intended a,sainst the principle of the proposed measure, and the proper 4.,:urse, therefore, was to have the petitioner heard at the bar isefore the second reading, in accordance with the all established precedent, Lord J. RUSSELL observed that without wishing to give any decisive opinion as to the prayer of the petition, he thought it ought to be printed and taken into consideration on another clay. Ms Honourable Friend had introduced this subject, no doubt, from necessity at the end of the evening. He thought ilowever, that the House should be allowed time to consider tho precedents on the case, and both whether the petitioner stould be heard, and if so in what character. As to whether 112 is to be considered agent for the Colonies— Mr. GROTE—He has been appointed by the Assembly. Lord JOHN RUSSELL resumed—he did not then wish to give an opinion' on that point. There were instructions sent by the Secretary of State in this country for the intro. dvetion of a Bill by which the House of Assembly, with the agent of the Legislative Council and the Governor, might sespoint an agent. No such Bill, however, was passed. if the House should be of opinion that Mr. Roebuck anould be heard, he had of course no objection that he should make hii statement before the second reading of the Bill ; but they ought not now to determine either the question whether lit' should be heard, or ia what capacity he should be allowed to appear. Mr. GR.OTE stated that all he desired was, that the Bill should net be advanced to the stage of the second reading be fore the question as to the admission of Mr. Roebuck to be )r: and was decided. He should, therefore, give notice that he rucant to 011 the attention of the House on Monday to that subject, before the second reading of the Bill was discussed. Mr. WARBURTON—Mr. Roebuck had been acknow. lodged as agent by Lord Gosford, and was paid by the House of Assembly. • Lord J. RUSSELL bad not the least objection to the in. tended motion. Sir R. PEEL thought the capacity in which Mr. Roebuck should by heard was quite a subordinate question compared to this, as to whether he should be heard on the part of the Assembly of the province. His own impression was, con sidering the extraordinary nature of the suspension proposed, woich was justified, he thought, by necessity, that they ought snot to debai the parties who were to suffer this penalty from making any representations they might think essential.— I Near, hear.) Therefore, reserving his opinion as to the subjects of the defence, he was persuaded that while they proceeded with asmiieh deliberation as was necessary for the ceforoemeet of the proposed measures, they ought not to shut out any statements on the part of the colonists which they might deem necessary tob* submitted.—( Hear, hear ) Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped that the Hon. Gentle. man (Mr. Grote) would inform Mr. Roebuck of his inten tion, so that he might be in readiness to proceed with his ad dress, if such were the wish of the House. Mr. GROTE—I undertake to do so. The petition was ordered to be printed. The House then rose at a Quarter-past One o'Cock. The thermometer, on Monday morning, was at 24 degrees. The corresponding day (Jan. 14), last year it was 48i degrees. On Tuesday it was 23 degrees below the point.

The juvenile night at Drury-lane, this evening, LoAs out great attraction for our young holiday folk. COURT CIRCULAR. The Royal dinner party at the New Palace last evening included, in addition to the ladies and gentlemen of the Household in Waiting, Viscount Melbourne and Lord Glenelg. A band of the Feot Guards was in attendance at the New Palace during dinner on Tuesday evening, and performed a number of favourite selections. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince George of Cam brilge, honoured the Olympic Theatre with their presence last evening. The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princesses Augusta and Mary of Cambridge, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. Sir William Montague and Mr. Caley had interviews with Viscount Melbourne yesterday, in Downing-street. The Master-General of the Ordnance had an interview with Lord Glenelg yesterday, at the Colonial Office. The French and Russian Ambassadors transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Viscount Beresford also transacted business at the Foreign Office. Mr. and Mrs. Hedworth Lambton have arrived at Chester-street, from Brighton. MONEY MARKET. WEDNISD&Y.—The appointment of Lord Durham to his important trust in Canada, added to the debates on the affairs of that colony in the House of Commons last night, has given the greatest satisfaction in the city; especially amongst those mare closely connected by their commer cial transactions with the revolted province. as matters, it is hoped, will now be adjusted with decision and promptness, and measures adopted to prevent any further opposition to the acts of the Executive. In the English Stock - -market a material effect was produced, and an advance of per cent. took place in Consols, while things generally looked more cheerful, and business was animated as well as extensive. The tran_ sections in shares still continue to be very extensive, but the market ge nerally vas heavy to-day, and many of the railway undertakings, which have risen considerably lately, sustained a marked depression; but this kindof re-action often occurs when the improvement has been material and rapid. In those of the London and Brighton line there appears to be a perfect mania, for the improvement which has taken place within the /hat few days, cannot be attributed to any other cause than wild spe culation, when it is recollected. that the whole of the money paid up, namely, 3L upon 36,000 shares, has beer expended in the preliminary Parliamentary and law expences; and that a call must be made before a spade can be put into the ground.—MornMg Chronicle. The English Stock Market has improved to-day (Wednesday). The general tone of the debate last evening," and the determination evinced by a great majority of the Douse of Commons to support the Govern ment in_ a decided course of policy with respect to the Canadae, are generally assigned as the causes for the better appearance of the funds. Consols closed at 911, sellers, formoney, ex-dividend, being an advance of 3 per cent. upon the quotations of yesterday. For the account the price was precisely the same as for money, which indicates a want of conddence by speculators in the stability of the market. It is said that trie advance to-day is mainly attributable to investments, though on a -small; stale, on the part of the pUblic, with whom money has been made abundant by the payment of the dividends, Bank Stock was 20.1! to 51 ; India Stock., 261 to 2 ; Exchequer Bills, 535. to 565. ; India Bonds, 503. to t als , and those to be paid off las. to lot. premium.—Times. The apppintment of the Earl of Durham to the Governorship in Chief of the Canadas has rather taken the parties connected w i th those Colonies by snrprise—the less so from party feeling here, but the mote so. because in none of his diplomatic experiments has he shown that determination to preserve the independence of the British Crown, and inasmuch as in all his diplomatic actions he has made expediency his motto, Nevertheless, there arc many here who consider that he pos sesses sufficient firmness of chracter for the difficult task he has under taken. Our monetary quotations wilt show an improvement in the Bri tish Ponds, arising more from the quiet tone of the debates in Parlia. ment last night, than the appointment of Lord Durham.—Morn. Herald. PRIVATE BUSINESS OF PARLIA- MENT. Mr. Poulett Thomson last night gave notice of a motion for extending the Breriates of Private Bills. This is one of the reforms in the private business which is much wanted, for anything more slovenly or useless than the pre sent mode of briefing Bills cannot well be imagined. This is doing for the House that which we have promised to do for the public. The present Breviates merely narrate the classes of clauses, without expressing their nature or operation. Our plan will be to acquaint all parsons in terested in such Bills with the objects and the mode of effecting them ; and this, we presume, is all that Mr. P. Thomson means by his motion. We were in error in stating that the Committee on Pe titions did not meet yesterday, in consequence of Mr. Shaw Lefevre's absence from town. The Hon. Member ex plained in the House, last night, that the Committee had adjourned to the sth of February, before it was understood that the House was to re-assemble on the 16th of January ; and notice to this effect having been given in the Private Bill Office, to the Parliamentary Agents, the Comm - teei in justice to the parties interested in promoting or op posing Private Bills, could not possibly resume its sittings on an earlier day.

The publicaties ve Tins SUN NZWIPATER commenced this day a: 10 minutes pest Three o' Clock. pacification of Lower Canada—a plan detailed in hie speech on Tuesday night, but of which it appears we, in common with nine-tenths of his Lordship's ar.ditory, and the whole of the London press, misap prhend the purport. To prevent the possibility of fukher misconception, we subjoin the exact statement mitde by the Noble Lord in his speech of last night :- 1 4 With respect to the future government of the Province, it is the in ntion of the Government, as I stated last night , that that object 1 ., sh I be effected by the prerogative of the Crown, to summo n a certain eu berofpersons, namely, three from each Legislative Council of Lower an 4 Upper Canada, amounting to six in the whole, an d ten re p resenting the( Province of Lower Canada, and ten representing the Province of Upper Canada, making twenty in the whole, to form a body for the pur -1 pos of consulting the Governor-General on all the matters affecting the whole interests of those two provinces, and th e ad j ustment of th a affairs upon which so much difference, and, at length, so in4h disturbance has arisen—this I say, is a power which may be given by the prerogative of the Crown. With respect to persons to be nar4eil by the Legislative Council, those persons will be named from thel Legislative Council, but chosen and appointed by the Go ve orl r.General. With respect to tke persons who are con sid ed to have a representative character, t hose p ersons may be hosen from the Legislative Assembly; and i s in the case of Lower Canada, it Is almost impossible that the L e g islative As mbly can any way be brought to act beneficial l y in p ursuance of thi plan, it will be in the power of the Governor-Ge neral to have elec tion both with respect to the Lower Province, and, if necessary, with resplect to the Upper Province; to have the election of persons, amount ing to ten in the whole, for each Province, in order to consult upon the igeneral affairs of the Provinee. Sir, I stated last night what the (object of this plan was. The object is, that in any future plan for the Government of the Province we may not adopt them either wholly on the authority of the Imperial Parliament or of the Government of this country, or adopt them wholly on the authority of the Governor-General, but adopt them an the authority of the Im perial Parliament of this country and the Government of this country, with the sanction of those who represent the interests of America, and being conversant in all affairs transacted there, know perfectly well what are the remedies which, in their opinion, will produce that which her Majesty has declared to be her object—the lasting peace and con cord of that province." Much misconception would be avoided were the Government to state, whether it is proposed to grant a new Constitution to Lower Canada only ; or whether there is any intention on the part of Ministers, to extend the new Constitution to the Upper Province a 3 well as the Lower. If, as Sir FRANCIS B. HEAD alleges, the inhabitants of the Upper Province outvie in loyalty the people of England, we can see no strong grounds for disturbing their present form of Government—consequently none whatever for inviting them to recommend a Constitutional scheme for the Lower Province. If it be proposed to re unite the two Provinces under one Constitution and under one Governor, well and good—the Government plan then becomes intelligible, though, even in that case, some may question . the efficacy of its results ; but if there be no intention on the part of Ministers of uniting the two Provinces, the summoning dele gates from the one to advise a form of Government for the other, will only serve to kindle feuds between them, which it may hereafter be very difficult to eradicate. PITT'S great error was the division of Canada into two provinces, and the very best thing Ministers can now do will be to seize the present favourable op portunity for effecting their re-union, and if it be found practicable, to unite under one Governor- General the entire Administration o!' our territories in North America. The petty Admini3trations now kept up only serve for appointments for Cie needy scions of the a ristocracy, thereby entailing a heavy and useless expense upon the Colonists. To s: , leede the claims of the PAPINEAU party in Lower :,anada, and at the same time to maintain therein the [.. cendaney of Great Britain, is totally impossible. Sir ROBERT PEEL is acting ou :he Canada ques tion with his usual jesuitism. FL pretends to con sider it a high misdemeanour, cn the part of the QUEEN'S Ministers, that they did not before the re cess bring forward the Address to her MAJESTY on the state of Canada, which they proposed on Tuesday last. Now, if this was a niatter - of such vital im portance to the country as the Tamworth Baronet would have the public believe he regards it, why did he not say so at the time ? Why did not he, the leerier of the Opposition, stand up in his place, boldly charge Ministers with their neglect of duty, and more the Address himself, if they refused ? This would, at all events, .have been an open and manly course of proceeding. But frankness and candour are no part of Sir ROBERT'S character. And how does ho attempt to shield himself from the blame that he is sensible he has incurred ? How pitifully does he try to crawl out of his awkward pre dicament ! « I happened not to be in the House on the day that the affairs of Canada were discussed,' softly whispers the Right Hon. Baronet, apparently unconscious that, knowing as he did, that the Canada question was to come on, it was his paramount duty to be at his post. Look, too, at his conduct on Tuesday last. In al luding to the course pursued towards Lower Canada, ai:d to the proposal of a total separation of that colony from the mother country, he puts a hypothetical case about an island, such as the Isle of Wight or the Isle of Mann, resolving to throw off its allegiance if its extravagant demands were not granted—ought the Government to hesitate, he asks, as to the employment of strong measures to reduce the mal-contents to subjection ? A straightforward person would have said at once that which the Right Hon. Baronet insinuated—namely, that the proper course to be adopted towards the people of Ireland, was not the MULGRAVE policy of.justice, and justice too adminis tered in a spirit of good-will and kindness ; but that sort af justice which comes home to the heart through the mouth of the cannon and the musket. This is the policy which is in store for Ireland, should Sir ROBERT and the Tories ever agaist come into power. We have read with the utmost cars the speech o Lord JOHN RUSSELL on Tuesday on introducing his plan for the adjustment of the affairs of Canada— his speech on applying for leave to bring in a Bill, and his explanation in answer to questions from Sir ROBERT PEEL, relative to the election of the ten Commissioners for Lower Canada—and after all cannot find out one expression which can lead us even to imagine in what mode or by whom they are to be elected. " They are not to be taken from the Lower Assembly"—" they are not to be nomi nated by the new Governor-General"--was all that could at first be drawn from his Lord ship ; and when further pressed he only replied t h at " he thought means might be chosen, and adequate provision made, for the election of persons to represent Lower Canada." There should have been no boggling on this important point in a Bill intended to satisfy both parties, and the much more manly course would have been to say, that the constituency of the Lower Province, now that the great agitator is out of the way, shall hays another trial, and be allowed to choose the ten Commissioners who are to represent their interests in the Council of the Governor. His influence in the Council will be sufficiently amp l e , even under such circumstances. He nominates six Legislative Councillors ; ten Commis , sioners are to be selected from the present Members L of the Legislative Assembly in the Upper Province ; and considering the strong feeling that prevails there in favour of British interests, it is evident that the preponderance will not be on the side •f the French party. Besides, the decision of this Board is not to be final ; they are to sit as a Committee to enquire and recommend ; and any resolutions or recommendations they make will be left ultimately for the judgment of the Imperial Parliament. Unless the stronger party in Lower Canada, therefore, be allowed the free choice of their Representatives in the Council, they cannot possibly be satisfied, and it would be wise in the Government to make some explicit declaration on this point without delay. Probably some more explicit exp l a nation will be given in the House of Lords this evening, and we shall therefore wait for the result. er -i) f; 4: , ( • 2 7 - Z r bi NtVgt.

We extract the following from a Brussels Paper received this mottling :--••• BRUSSELS JAN. 15.-It was reported in this city yesterday, that the King of Prussia died on Friday last after a long ill ness, and that the news had been brought by a courier. The Houss of LORDS did not meet yesterday. In the Hocsa of CosnioNs several petitions were presented, praying the House not to give its sanction to a war with Ca xr-da. One presented by Mr. HALL, from Marylebone, prayed the House to refuse supplies to the Government for carrying on an unholy war with Canada. Mr. WAK.LET, who also presented a petition from Fins bury dcprecatiug war with Canada, gave notice that on Mon day he would present a petition, praying for mitigation of punishment in the case of the Glasgow cotton-spiniers. Lord J. RCSSELL presented her. Majesty's answer to the Address. It will be found in the Parliamentary Report. Lord MORPIETN said, in answer to inquiry, that he intended to move the second reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill on the 6th of February. Lord Joty4 Resssu. then proceeded to move for leave to bring in the Bill of which he gave notice the preceding even ing, to make provision for the temporary Government of Lower Canada. For the details of the Noble Lord's notable measure we refer to our Parliamentary report. The Assembly 'a to be summarily;,suspended, and the Governor-General , with a Canadian Council, is to perform the work of pacifica tion, and of giving plenary satisfaction to the aggrieved colonists I I The House divided, when leave to bring in the Bill was carried by a majority of 198 to 7 1 It seas then agreed to, on the motion of Lord Jos), Rus situ., that the House do adjourn till Monday. Mr. Hums moved for certain papers relating to Canada, to the production of some of which no opposition was offered, while others on a division were refused. Mr. GROTS presented a petition from Mr. J. A. Roebuck, in which that Gentleman stated that he was Agent for the House of Assembly in Lower Canada, and prayed that he might be heard at the bar of the House in argument against the Bill then pending about the Canada'. After a few words from Mr. Waluav and Mr. Wasavg roN, both of whom supported the petition, Lord Jowm Rus sun consented to afford an opportunity for moving, on Monday, that Mr. Roust:ex be heard at the bar, previously to his mov ing the second reading of the Bill. The House adjourned, at a quarter past one o'clock, till Monday. After a long and very animated debate, the Minis terial Bill for the tranquillization of Canada was read a first time in the House of Commons last night. Lord JOHN RUSSELL undertook to explain its leading provisions to the House, in which he succeeded so indifferently, that Sir ROBERT PaEL was satisfied there were not ten Members present who did not mis apprehend the entire drift •f his Lordship's observa tions—s. statement of the Right Hon. Baronet which was responded to by Mr. HUME. The Noble Lord said that the object of the Bill was to empower the Governor in Council—the Council not to be limited in point of number, but requiring for the discharge of business only the attendance of five members—to pass any laws required for temporary purposes during the suspension of the Constitution. Here the Noble Lord should have stated that he took leave of the Bill alto gether ; instead of :which he went on to explain the future policy of the Government, as if it really was embodied in the measure then before the H ouse . Assuming the provisions of the Bill to be s uc h as are here reported, we have no fault to find with it, provided Ministers feel themselves strong enough to carry it into full effect. Lower Canada is in a state of insurrection ; the constitutional channels for the ad ministration of justice are already closed ; and the pro visions of the Ministerial Bill will soften the rigours of martial law. If, then, Ministers can calculate upon a force strong enough to make the power thus conferred upon the Governor in Council respected and obeyed by the Canadians, the Bill cannot be passed a moment too soon ; whereas, if the Bill is to be backed with no greater display of physical power than accompanied the coercive resolutions, it will be the signal for a ' revolt from one extremity of Lower Canada to the other. The Government should adopt no measure which it is not prepared to carry out with an energy calculated to silence every whisper of disaffection. Where the ques tion is one of peace or war, the most straightforward course is always the wisest. But Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not confine himself to the Bill before the House. His Lordship reca pitulated the heads of the Ministerial plan for the final THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD MARKET, Fish to-day was in fair supply, and so were Meat and Poul try. The severe weather operates against business, and prices were high, but do not show any variation worth notice from our last report. Vegetables are scarce and very dear, as may be expected. Hay and Clover firm in price. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. Supply good, all things considered, and trade fair ; prices reasonable. Turbot, top price, 255., and some as low as ss. and es.

Fish Oils of all kinds are 21. per ton lower than they were last week, owing it is said to expects. tiona of . large arrivals from those of our colonies that yield that article. COLONIAL MARKETS. None but small sales can now be effected. To-day we had a few parcels of Bengal and Rio Sugar and Brazil Coffee advertized. Sugar of all descriptions continued, when we left the market, to be quoted at much the same figures as it has done for the last few days ; but the tendency of prices is easier if not lower. Coffee is much as it was in every respect ; but little selling, and prices unaltered. But little doing In any commodity by private contract. Teals rather in demand, and prices are firm. Spices are also firm, and so are Rice and Rum particularly. In the price of approaching sales of Cotton but little is doing. Higher prices are asked for Tobacco. In Colonial produce of the Canadas there is but little stirring. The imports 'at the Customs, owing to the severe and continued frost, are very slender. The deficiency in the Stock of British Plantation Sugar, which we noticed yesterday, was expected to have, and would have been much greater, had it not been for the large importations of East India at the equalized duty. INDIGO SALE—(THIRD DAY.) This sale progresses to-day much in every respect as it did yesterday, which we reported. Speaking in round numbers -we should say that between three and four thousand chests had passed the sale at the time we left ; and that about one fifth of what passes the chair sells, or perhaps rather more. The holders continue to show a strong disposi tion to support the market. WOOL SALES. Colonial Wool continues to deli with great and increased briskness amidst a good attendance of buyers ; many of them from the manufac turing districts. Prices average now about 3d. per lb. higher than they were at the last public sale. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. At this day's Market it was pretty evident that all the Cotton pur. chased was for immediate use, the sales were very limited, only 2,000 bags having being sold, but these were sold at our last quotation. 100 Peruvian, Sid.; 100 Surat,, sd. ; 50 Pernam, 100. ; 10 Egyp. tian; 13d. ; 30 Maranham, 3d. ; and 1,710 American, 7id. to tld. ; Total 2,000.

The LORD CIIANCILLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. His Lordship after going into the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be, that the decree of his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor was not justified either by that state of the pleadings or the evidence. If his Lordship had heard the cause originally, he should have dismissed the bill. The decision of the Vice-Chancellor must therefore be overruled, and the defendants have the costs. VICE-CHANCERY.-THIS DAY. The Vica-CRANeRtLoft took motions to-day. MOUCIIETT V. T 146 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied this morning upon • motion for an injunction in, this case, to restrain the defendants from using a piece of land in Hanwell, for the purposes of their railway. The plaintiffs were the representatives of a Mr. Lichfield, to whom the land had originally belonged. • His HONOUR refused to grant the injunction. IL2 ,UEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. •THE POORAAW COMMISSIONERS. In this case a rule for a. writ of certiorari had been obtained last Term to bring up an order of the Poor.laW Commissioners, dated 29th of Marsh, 1836, for uniting the districts of SaffrOn-hill and Ely-rents with the districts of St. Andrew, Holborn above Bar, and St. George the Martyr. After .a lengthened argument the Court gave judgment. The ques tion here was, whether the parishes of St. George the Martyr, and St. Andrew Holborn, were Parishes within the meaning of the Poor Law Amendment Act. •The Court was of opinion they were not, and decided against granting the Certiorari. BAIL COURT-THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) Mr. WinturNtax, on behalf of a gentleman named Evans, who was seeking to be admitted an attorney of this Court, moved that the exa. miners should be directed to take his'application, though he would not attain the age of 21 till July next. He (Mr. NV) submitted there was no rule or order of Court which prohibited a gentleman from being examined before the age of twenty-one, and still more, that there was no rule which prohibited him from being, admitted an attorney under that age. He however prayed that if the Court thought he ought not to be ad mitted under the age of twenty-one, that the examinants might with- hold his certificate. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that an attorney could not be admitted before he was of age. There could not be an infant attorney. The Court could not make a rule to dispense with an ordinary rule, merely to accommodate this gentleman, .in order that he might be examined. Mr. Wicturstem remarked that he believed instances had occurred of gentlemen being admitted under the age of 21. Mr. Justice Parresox said that it might have occurred by inadver tence, but he would not be a party to it. It was quite clear that the ap plicant must wait. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. PLUTILL V. DOWSE. In this case a writ was issued to one Seton, under bailiff of the Liberty of Peterborough, to sell some goods in an action for debt. Seton having sold the goods, applied for instructions to the steward of the Marquis of Exeter, lord paramount of the Franchise of Peterborough, acting under the directions of the steward. Seton transferred . the money, the produce of the sale, to the Assignees of the party to whom the debt was due, he having become bankrupt. After a lengthy argument, the COURT decided that Seton, having re ceived directions respecting the execution of the writ from the confi dential agent of the Marquis of Exeter, his Lordship must be considered as having received the writ, and as being liable to be called on to re. turn it. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY , (Before /dr. BURCUILL. ) WILLIS V. KING. This was an action brought by the plaintiff', an oilman residing at Woolwich, to' recover of the defendant, who is agent of the Spanish Government, the sum of 51. 25., for good: supplied at the depot of the British Legion at Woolwich. After hearing the case stated; The Under left it to the Jury to say to whom the plaintiff gave credit, and on whose authority the goods were ordered. The Jury found for the plaintiff for the amount elaimed. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Tett SPANIIII SERYICE.—An unfortunate creature, named JVillians Cantell, was found last night, without a coat, wandering about the streets in a state of destitution. In answer to the charge, the prisoner belonged to the parish of St. Martin, and was doing a very good busi. nese as a sweep until he joined the far-famed British Legion ; but as he refused to fight without food, he was sent home, and had since been existing on the bounty of a few humane persons. Mr. MiNartuLL ordered him to be sent to the workhouse of St. Mar. tin's parish as a fit object for relief. QUEEN -SQUARE.--(T HIS DAY.) JUTENILII DRPEA.YITY.-,Tatnes Cook and Edward Savage, two toys, the eldest about twelve years of age, were charged with stealing two balf-quartern loaves, the property of Mr. Jaques, a baker in Great Peter.street, Westminster. The father of the younger prisoner said that he was a widower, and had been left with a family of children, the eldest of whom was the pri, soner, who was not yet nine years of age. Witness endeavoured to keep him out of evil company, but the elder prisoner and other boys of de. prayed habits were constantly in..the habit of enticing him from home Mr. BURRELL should send the_priioner Cook to the House of Correc tion for fourteen days; and ordered the father of Savage to take him home and correct him. CANADA. Last night, at a large meeting of the Lumber Troop, held in the Troop Hall at Dr. Johnson's Tavern, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, Colonel Payne presiding, Lieutenant Carpenter brought forward a resolution relative to the Ministerial course of policy in reference to Lower Canada, which he introduced by a general examination of the pro posed plan of the Ministers, as indicated in the speech of Lord John Russell, delivered, on the preceding evening. The necessity for sending troops to Canada was admitted, and the proceed. ings of her Majesty's Government .in this respect justified and commended ; but the speaker deprecated the other part of their intended plan, which involved the entire demolition of the Canada Con. stittition, disfranchised the whole of the population, and placed the country under a purely despotic Government. He admitted the liberal character of Lord Durham's political principles, but argued that no inferences that might be deduced from these, could be allowed to nullify the plain indications that had been put forth by the Home Secretary, of an intention to make use of the Earl of Durham, first as a despotic Go►ernor, and next, as the framer of a Constitution less liberal in its character than the one proposed to be over turned. He argued that the only way to satisfy the just demands of the Canadians and restore tranquillity to the province, would be to send out Earl Durham with a carte blanchf, with instructions to redress all real grievances, and adopt a liberal and conciliatory course of Govern ment. He feared the course about to be taken would tend rather to exasperate the Canadians than to soothe and tranquilise them, and he therefore moved the following resolution : Recolved,—That this meeting has heard, with feelings of deep regret, and with serious apprehensions of alarm, the announcement made by her Majesty's Government of the course intended to be adopted for the al. leged purpose of restoring the tranquillity and adjusting the affairs of the Canadian provinces; that neither the official documents nor the Ministe rial manifesto show any reasonableground for sweeping away the Constitu tion guaranted to the people of those provinces by a solemn act of the Impe perial Parliament, in return for which they have at all times evinced a feel ing of strong attachment to the British empire, and ofloyalty to the British Crown ; and have on two memorable:occasions exemplied those feelings, by gallantly repulsing the United States' arms when invading the Canadian territories, for the purpose of attaching the British provinces to their own Republic : that what is unnecessary in this case is highly inexpedient, as greatly tending to add to the previous discontent of the people, arising out of long existing, numerous, and widely-operating grievances, and thence to augment the difficulties of effecting a salutary adjustment of the quarrel unfortunately existing be tween the Province and the Imperial Government, as also to in crease the probabilities of a protracted, bloody, and expensive war, alike disgraceful to England, ruinous to the provinces, and bur densome and oppressive to the productive classes of the kingdom, from the proceeds of whose industry the heavy expenditure necessary to support such a war must be taken that for these and other equally weighty reasons, touching the pernicious influence which a foreign war must inevitably exercise upon the character of our own do mestic Legislation and Government, this meeting solemnly protests against the extreme course proposed to be taken by her Majesty's Go. vernment, and expresses its fervent hope that the Ministers may be in duced to abandon their intention to overthrow the Constitution of the Canadas, and wisely trust to the effect which a full redress of grievances and a conciliatory course of policy may make upon the minds of a people who have hitherto received every concession at the hands of the mother-country as a gracious boon, and have evinced their gratitude for its bestowal by a loyal and affectionate demeanour." It being nearly twelve o'clock before Lieutenant Carpenter had closed his address, and several other gentlemen wishing to speak to the question, the debate was adjourned until next Wednesday. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We are again compelled, from a heavy press of matter, to omit our usual "Spirit of the Public Journals," and just briefly to glance at them as we did yesterday. The Times speaks with respect of Lord Durham, but thinks that the new powers with which it is proposed to invest him, are too great ; and recommends that the country should prepare itself for " whatever adventitiou s dangers" may be expected to grow out of the Canadian disturbances. The Chronicle speaks in terms of high approbation of the instructions given to Lord Durham, to "grant, if he should think fit, a general amnesty." The Herald contents itself with singing the praises of the Conservatives ; and the Post abuses Ministers in wholesale style, without vouchsafing to give reasons for the faith that is in it. STATE OF TRADE.—The market for all descrip tions of goods and yarn was exceedingly flat yesterday, and lower prices were, in many cases, submitted to. An extensive stoppage of the canals by the. frost has, no doubt, added to the dullness which previously existed, and it is not likely that any material improvement will take place in business until we have a change of weather. —Manchester Guardian. TORTURE.--The last remains of this barbarous punishment have just been expunged from the penal laws of Denmark.--Dutch Paper. UNIVERSITY OF LEYDEN.—On the Ist of January there were 688 students at the University, of whom 267 be longed to the classes of law, 196 of medicine, 174 of theology, 40 to those of belles lettres, and 11 of philosophy. Two men have bethi taken upon suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of the elderly English gen tleman, which took place about 'a fortnight ago in the Chsnaps Etysees, Paris.

A petition was presented from several Of the" attorneys of the Lord Mayor's Court, praying for the sanction of the Court of Aldermen to enable them legally to transact their business at . the Marshal's Office, which had been assigned to, them for that purpose' by the Lord Mayor immediately atter the destruetion of the office here tofore used for that purpose, which formed part of the late Royal ir change. The petition was subsequently referred to the ,Police Cora,. mittee. The Loon Mavox informed the Court that he had received an appli—' cation from the senior page of her Majesty to be made free of the City, pursuant to custom after a regal visit. Some discussion ensued as to the nature of the application, which was put an and to by`the Court ',- adopting the suggestion of the Recorder, to act according to precedent: The Court was occupied a considerable time in hearing and deciding op various ineffixtual appeals against serving parochial offices. - • • The Court then entered on the consideration of the petition of Mr. Roe against the return of Mr. Young and Mr. Briggs as Common Coun cilmen for the Tower Ward ; negatived that part of it which related to, the scrutiny; and decided that the allegations charging Mr. Briggs and Mr. Young with not being resident householders were not proved.—The- Court then adjourned.
